Here's the mostly full comments from OSU 247 thread when he entered portal on 1/2 for context on how they truly feel. I'm sure if he transfers to ND they'll all shift more negative so this may be the best true barometer. Take it fwiw.
1a. I figured he would stay one more year? This is surprising to me.
1b. Why should he stay one more year just to be a part timer, when he can go somewhere else & be a full-time starter ?
1c. He’s getting recruited over. I think is good for the team and him, all the best to him he was nothing but a buckeye.
2. I thought I saw him in on a few tackles during the Georgia game. Was actually wondering if that was his last game.
3a. Best of luck to him. No loss for us. Wish him all the best though!!
3b. Best for all involved.
4a. And the exodus begins.
4b. He wasn’t going to see time next year.
4c. If you have been paying attention it’s happening everywhere
5. Good decision. I thought he did a good job. Hopefully, he can get more playing time elsewhere and maybe get drafted. Best of luck to him.
6. Good luck to this young man on his next journey!. Always a Buckeye
7a. I could see him going to Nebraska to play for Rhule. The staff Rhule has now has a lot of ties to the New Jersey area, and the Huskers were JJB’s other finalist initially. No doubt in my mind that he would start there especially with Garrett Nelson not returning.
7b. This, or back home for Rutgers….
7c. I could see Wisconsin…Fick is about that portal
8. Thank you Jesus . Too many underperforming upperclassmen who don’t contribute anything playing over talented younger guys . The other Question is why did LJ give him so many snaps which could have gone to Caden Curry and Sawyer ?
Now please can LJ .
9. In less playing time, he was more productive than Sawyer and JTT. Not a lot of experienced talent at the DE position returning. Need some young guys to step up or getting to the QB will continue to be inconsistent.
10. Normally, I would say this is good for all involved, but it’s a reminder to me that we didn’t get one of the 3 DEs. I believe we are now 2 down depth wise at DE. Regardless, it is what it is. Good luck to the young man.
11. Best of luck to him and thanks for being a Buckeye contributor!
12. Best of luck to him. Seemed like a good kid and hope he does well wherever he ends up.
13. Hallelujah Amen!!
14a. Javontae Jean-Baptiste was a unsung pass-rusher..At times it appeared Jean-Baptiste was Ohio State most effective pass-rusher..
14b. Development issue or individual ?
Personally I think it’s the coach .
All these guys not being developed
Cooper , Tyreke Smith , Zach Harrison , JB , Haskell Garrett , Taron Vincent
